A group of people calling themselves ‘Move America Forward’ has recently been in the forefront of attacks on Cindy Sheehan and her very simple question for the president.

A woman identifying herself as the group founder, Deborah Johns, has a son in the Marines and is featured in an attack ad on Cindy Sheehan and her very simple question.

Deborah Johns says that Cindy Sheehan’s very simple question discredits the soldiers serving in Iraq.

Deborah Johns says, "Cindy Sheehan certainly doesn't speak for me, our military families or our men and women serving in Iraq and Afghanistan."

The ‘Move America Forward’ website at http://www.moveamericaforward.org/ doesn’t confine itself to attacking Cindy Sheehan and her very simple question. It also features attacks on the United Nations and various activists that have involved themselves in the recall of California Governor Gray Davis and an organization known as the ‘Defend Reagan Organization’ which sells bumper stickers of the ‘Gipper’.

Their attacks on the United Nations are interesting as they resemble the same materials and positions that are posted on the John Birch Society website at http://www.getusout.org/ .

The John Birch Society claims to strenuously defend the original intention of the U. S. Constitution. The group believes America is founded on Christian principles. It has a conspiratorialist view of history. It is anti-globalization and for immigration reform. They advocate the abolition of income tax, and the repeal of civil rights legislation, which it sees as being communist.

Sounds like John Roberts’ resume, doesn’t it?

My problem with Mrs Sheehan is that her question has been answered many times and all she wants to do is cause some kind of embarrassment to the President.

She is upset at the tragic loss of her son and wants the President to pay for it. To me she is being vindicative and the President is being sensible in avoiding her.

About moveamericaforward and it's position similiarity to the John Birch position on the UN, what is wrong with one group supporting another's views. I am sure that we all recognize the right wing slant to both and take it into consideration.

I see you're another "ideologue" who uses ideology as a proxy religion.

I don't think she wants to embarass the President....he can do that on his own.

I felt for the woman losing her son. Then Saw were she is hooked up with some organized groups who may be using her .

now they find out she was hooked up with protestors from the 1970's. This is sick . How can people do things like that with a clear concience. The wiman is grieving and groups will play her like they did. that's sick.
